I was painting in the yard of a friend in Vermont, and really liked the flying heron weathervane that had been inserted into a rock as a sculpture. As I painted it, I noticed a birdhouse and fit it into the painting. What I really like about this piece are the trees all across the top and the "conversation" between the two objects..

This is the view from my balcony in Stonington but we are looking the other way from the previous paintings. I loved the way the birch, with it's wonderful energy, seemed to guard the entrance of a path that leads out eye to the harbor.

I was nearing the end of an autumn trip to Vermont (more about that in the next few days). I had packed the car but had just one morning to get a painting in before I had to take off for a committment. I went to The Billings Farm, a wonderful part of the National Historic Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historic Parkpark.  It's in Woodstock, where I used to teach high school art. I found a comfortable place to paint, out of the way near the end of the parking lot and used my few hours well. There was a horse pasture ahead of me but the horses were out of sight. Hence the title. I loved the hills in the background and the fence doing its thing, just meandering. I had a wonderful window on the world.
